What is acceleration?


In your own words.

  1. Brandon is accelerating in this picture at his first swim meet. How is he doing it? What is he doing to accelerate? You can use him to define it if you like. :)

  3. being in a 2004 svt cobra with n.o.s and stopping in the middle of the road and then taking off as fast as u can with the n.o.s spraying and the supercharger whining..... thats some acceleration for you.

  6. brandon is paddling his arms one way so he is accelerating but if he paddles the other way he will stop accelerating.

  7. he is movin foward to accelerate by doing breath strokes.he is changing his speed by moving.

  8. acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.acceleration can ocur through n speed or direction

  9. When Brandon starts swimming he accelerates to speed up, and when he gets to the other end he accelerates to slow down. Acceleration is the change in speed.

  11. Acceleration is the chasngein velocity ,or the rate of such change

  12. Acceleration is pretty much just the change in velocity over time. So even if an object if an object is going very fast, that doesn't mean it's accelerating, like some people think. If the objects velocity increases or decreases, or changes at all, THEN it's accelerating.

  13. Aacceleration is the rate at witch something speeds up.Acceleration equals final velocity minus initial velocity divided by the time+

  19. in my words acceliration is any type of motion over a period of time. like how he started at the start and accelirated to the finish line

  20. gainin speed once started
